The term of any material service provider contract with the risk retention group may not exceed five years. Any material service provider contract, or its renewal, requires the approval of the majority of the risk retention group’s independent directors. The risk retention group’s board of directors shall have right to terminate any service provider, audit, or actuarial contracts at any time for cause after providing adequate notice as defined in the contract. The service provider contract is deemed material if the amount to be paid for the contract is greater than or equal to five percent of the risk retention group’s annual gross written premium or two percent of its surplus, whichever is greater.
